Would you like space to talk about the challenges of sustaining a practice of silence?Or maybe you'd like opportunities for sharing in your silence-based prayer with others?

Then why not come to a Silence Clinic?

These evenings offer a small amount of input about silence-based prayer, have plenty of time for discussion, often offer different types of silence-based meditations to try and always include twenty minutes or more of time in silence together.

Led by Alison Woolley, Director of Seeds of Silence. See seedsofsilence.org.uk or e-mail alison@seedsofsilence.org.uk for more info.

Please remember the Cathedral is over 500 years old!
